EIRAC

Sustainable Supply Chain ManagementEC project proposal

Ecoports Foundation

7thEIRAC Plenary

Brussel, 13/11/2009


2/17

Starting Point

1. Sustainable Logistic Solutions no longer feasible as stand alone

2. Increasing mutual influence of all stakeholders in the chain

3. Need for cooperation between all stakeholders of the chain,

public and private, for common solutions

4. Need for standards to manage environmental risks


3/17

Motivation1. Market: logistic innovations needed to reduce costs

2. Laws: environmental impact of goods transport to be reduced

3. Increasing environmental risks require management tools

stakeholders, reputation, license to operate, standards

4. Improvements attainable in efficiency, cost and environment by

approaching supply chain as a system

5. But bottle necks to be solved to allow for switch to systems

approachcompanies: no cost optimalisation on the full chain

government: uncertainties around standards in implementing environmental laws

6. Many sustainable solutions are already available


4/17

ObjectivesSet up and test ing o f

1. a sustainable supply chain, indoor to indoor (not door to door)

2. a basic management systemfor a sustainable supply chain

3. an applied knowledge unit, to support on a day by day basis

ongoing sustainable supply chain pilots

4. a neutral, trusted, sustainable supply chain

management organisation

5. a network of good practice experience in sustainable

chain solutions: best practice learning community


5/17

Approach

1. Learning by doing

applied operational research to be delivered to ongoing pilots

2. Connect good practices from all partners into a chain system

also from authorities with operational tasks in the chain

3. Use lessons from on going (regional) sustainable chain project

a.o. in NL and from experience with Ecoports Management Tools

4. Choose for cradle to cradle as sustainability principle

5. Operations and business driven

Demonstrators1. Three (or more) indoor to indoor supply chainsup and running in

a sustainable way measured by global standards

Logistic Concept: a 3 level logistic solutions approach:

1. International plus national level2. Regional level inside countries

3. Local port-city congested areas level

2. Basic sustainable supply chain management system

3. Basic sustainable supply chain management certificate

4. Applied Knowledge Unit for daily operational research

support in sustainable chain management


8/17

Logistic Concept: 3 level approach

Each level has own characteristics and bottle necks

And needs own solutions

To be provided by different players

Such as

local logistics community and

local environmental authorities

But approaches can be driven by the same systems concept

Some Basic Requirements for successSuppor t ing Regulat ion

By Companies:

Example: management quality systems

Example: different approaches to deal with congestion

By Governments:

Example: customs laws require systems approach in supply chain

and cooperation between partners in the chain

Example: limits for trucks entering certain (environmental) zones

By Port Authorities:

Example: take measures for CO2 reduction with 50%

Example: limits in land lease contracts in yearly number of trucks

Bu t standards needed!! !

Some lessons learnedECOPORTS

Problem

Large differences in implementation of environmental laws leading tolarge cost differences (no level playing field)

Solut ion

Basic risk environmental risk analysis system, basic environmental

management system (build from ISO elements), basic certificate

Results

starts a process of awareness

delivers transparancy in implementation of laws in practice

exchanges cost and environmental effective solutions

raised the level of environmental management to a basic quality


14/17

Initiated by Amsterdam Port Authority

Brings 30 tons on 30 metres outside ship

Same transhipment tempo as crane on quayside

Capacity: 144 TEU

No quaywall needed, no quay area needed

Some lessons learned

Now 3 year experience:

Proven competing alternative for road transport in congested port city areas.


15/17

Working Packages1. Database and networkof good practice experience withsustainable solutions for operational activities in the supply chain

2. Operational applications derived from lessonsfrom experiences in sustainable supply chain management

in the fields of:

Environment, safety, security, logistic costs, IT chain system

3. Three indoor to indoorsustainable supply chainpilots: Development and test

4. Quality criteriafor keeping a supply chain ona basic sustainable quality level

and of a basic sustainable supply chainmanagement certificate


16/17

Working Packages5. An applied knowledge organisation , set up and test,based ondatabase of good practice experience, network of experience with

sustainable solutions for the chain and applied research required in pilots

6. Uniformity in supporting rules to be derived from best practiceexperience in implementing laws

7. Training modulesto be set up of for key bottle neck issues preventing supplychains from becoming sustainable, including seminars and a learning community of practice

8. Neutral and trusted intermediairy for sustainable supply chainmanagement

9. Project Management, Communication, Dissemination, reporting, administration
